OpenRouter usage data is a good way to see what the Chub AI community is actually enjoying. As of April 2026, the DeepSeek family is a clear preference, with DeepSeek V3.2 topping the chart and DeepSeek V3 0324 closely matching Claude Sonnet 4.5 in usage. GLM 5 and Step 3.5 Flash also see strong adoption in the rankings. All of the open-source models in the Top 10 are available on SiliconFlow and as the community’s favorites evolve, so does our model library.
